Where is our plaque?
Because clearly we are parents of the year.
Besides throwing our kid into a twin bed without so much as a warning- because transition schmansition (another post entirely), Sean and I had this amazing parenting moment this past week:
Sean: (to Kelan) You can have a piece of gum if you get your clothes on nicely.
(turns to me) Is bribery a frowned upon parenting technique?
Me: er, it's not bribery! It's... reward as incentive.
Then something amazing happened. We both looked at each other and a light bulb went on.
Both in harmony: Positive reinforcement!
It was special.
And it's not "crappy parenting"- it's... well yeah, it's that.
